Giant Trash Bag Window Webs
If you are looking to make a massive visual impact on a budget, giant trash bag window webs are the ultimate outdoor or window decoration. With just a few black plastic trash bags, a pair of sharp scissors, and some painter’s tape, you can transform your home’s facade into a haunted mansion. The process is incredibly similar to folding and cutting paper snowflakes, making it a fun, nostalgic activity. First, cut open a black trash bag so it lays flat as a large plastic sheet, then fold it into a square, then into a triangle, and continue folding to create a multi-layered wedge. Using a silver sharpie, sketch out the negative space of a spider web pattern, and carefully cut along the lines.
When you unfold the plastic, you will be greeted by a massive, intricate, and surprisingly perfect spider web. Because these webs are made of plastic, they are completely waterproof and highly durable, making them ideal for exterior windows, garage doors, or even taped to your front porch pillars. When back-lit by your indoor home lighting at night, these giant silhouettes cast eerie, dramatic shadows onto the street, instantly boosting your home’s curb appeal for trick-or-treaters.
